Servants' Entrance

If you have read this blog from the start, you may remember this post, in which I mentioned Servants’ Entrance (1934) from Fox, which contains a six minute long animated nightmare sequence in b/w made by the Disney Studio.

A very serious collector from Paris that I met last week was kind enough to give it to me as a birthday gift. Here it is for all of you to enjoy.

The live-action section of the clip is also fascinating. Did anyone say Snow White?

The live action bit is very close to Snow White. There also looks like there's a little bit of Pluto's Judgement Day thrown in there too. I can also recognize Pinto Colvig & Billy Bletcher's voices in the sequence. I wonder who had a part in animating this scene (I'm guessing Norm Ferguson or Dick Lundy had a part in it).

Thank you & your French collector friend for sharing this with us. A real treat, indeed!
